Great Tang Southern Emperor

"Of course it wasn't a natural death." Li Zhen also came to his senses, patted Wu Meiniang's shoulder lightly, and comforted him: "You don't have to be afraid, there are many ways to kill people in this world, to make a person die with a smile, As far as I know, there are no less than five ways."

"Then, Your Highness, who do you think the other party is?"

"I don't know about this, but since the other party left such a puzzle with no beginning and no end, it is telling us that they will still make a move, and it is definitely not once or twice. We have plenty of time to wait." Li Zhen He felt that he had vaguely grasped the context of the matter, and he felt that this method of killing was really familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before, but he just couldn't find a clue.

"Anyway, let me take a look first, where is the body?"

Wu Meiniang said: "It's in the firewood room. I originally planned to bury her at night. But the more I thought about it, the more suspicious I became, so before I came, I invited Dr. Sun for an autopsy. I don't know if I can find out something coming."

Li Zhen said: "Then I'll go there now, but there may be a little blood during the autopsy, so don't go there."

"Yes, the concubine is waiting for His Highness here."

"Ah."

The firewood room is located in the backyard of the palace. Li Zhen came here and found that the place was already full of people, the innermost being Sun Simiao, who was examining the corpse.Ignoring the people saluting to her, Li Zhen pushed aside the crowd and walked into the firewood room, where she saw a table covered with a white cloth. Looking at the outline, there was no doubt that it was a woman.

"Sun Daochang, how is the situation?"

"It turned out to be His Royal Highness, I have seen His Highness."

Sun Simiao's title is very strange, but Li Zhen is used to it: "These empty rituals are not necessary in the future, so don't do them. How is the situation now? What is the reason?"

"The deceased's name is Qing Li, a maid in the laundry room. She is 19 years old. There are parents, brothers and sisters at home. The body was found on the bed. There is no sign of being passive. It should be the scene of the first crime..." Sun Simiao generalized After talking about the situation of the deceased, he said, "Qingli's death is very strange. When others die, there will be more or less traces left behind, but Qingli has no wounds on her body, let alone poisoning, drowning, hanging, etc. Waiting for the traces left by death. And the smile on his face is really strange, if an ordinary foreman sees this kind of corpse, I am afraid that he would not even dare to do an autopsy, even if he dares to do an autopsy, he will definitely not be able to find anything."

"Then Daoist Sun means..." Li Zhen's eyes moved slightly, and he naturally heard the subtext in Sun Simiao's words. Ordinary forensics dare not or cannot be autopsied, which means that some clues can be found for unusual forensics. ?

Sun Simiao said to himself: "This thing is really helpless for ordinary people, but veterans are not among them."

"What did the Taoist priest say?"

"Your Highness also knows that Pindao has no other hobbies in this life. The only hobby is to see all kinds of strange medicinal materials or medical skills. For example, the reason why Pindao went to Nanyang is not only for the illness of Princess Jinyang, but more importantly, I want to see the uniqueness of Nanyang medical skills that are independent of the medical system of the Tang Dynasty..." No one thought that Sun Simiao, who has always been known for his kindness, would learn to be a talker and follow Li Zhendiao whetted my appetite.

Li Zhen was helpless: "What exactly does the Taoist priest want to say?"

"Hehe...don't worry, Your Highness, let me listen to the poor Taoist talk to you in detail." Sun Simiao chuckled twice, and continued: "When the old Taoist was young, he once saw a book in the Buddhist scripture pavilion in Longhu Mountain. "Exotic Tales of Foreign Countries" records some anecdotes and strange events in some countries outside the Central Plains."

"so what?"

"In that book, Pindao, there is a record that there is a magical poison in the nine surnames of Zhaowu. According to our Chinese translation, the name should be called Xiaoyao San, or Happy San. The reason for this name is because of this kind of poison. After taking the poison, the poisoned person can enter the illusion. In the illusion, all dreams can be realized and all your desires can be fulfilled, hence the name.

It's just that poison is poison after all, Xiaoyao San can indeed bring people into a fantasy world, but the effect of the medicine is too strong, so strong that if you take this poison, there is no possibility of waking up again, and the effect is very fast. Within an hour, people will die without leaving any traces, because Pindao is naturally interested in this kind of weird medicine, so he paid attention to it, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to see the other party's tricks. "

"No wonder the usual drug testing methods can't detect it." Li Zhen suddenly realized that this Xiaoyao San is a kind of drug, but the effect of this drug is too strong. As long as you take it, you will be directly excited to death. The possibility of waking up, with the autopsy technology of this era, unless the existence of Xiaoyao San is known, of course, the general drug testing method will not detect any clues.

"It's just..." Sun Simiao frowned deeply, his face serious: "It's just that your Highness, you have to be careful recently."

"Why?" Li Zhen asked back: "The Taoist priest is afraid that the other party will use Xiaoyao San to harm me?"

"No, no, your Highness doesn't need to worry about this." Sun Simiao shook his head again and again: "They will not harm His Highness—at least until they achieve their goals, they will not harm His Highness."

"The Daoist means..."

"According to the records in the "Exotic Chronicles", this Xiaoyao Powder has overbearing medicinal properties, but the medicinal materials for refining Xiaoyao Powder are very difficult to cultivate, so even among the nine surnames of Zhaowu, Xiaoyao Powder is very expensive, and only the royal family can afford it. Their royal family would take Xiaoyao Powder when they were terminally ill, or when they knew their time was approaching, and died in happiness, ordinary people are not qualified to use it."

Li Zhen shrugged and said with a smile: "That's interesting. Could it be that this maid named Qingli is actually a member of the royal family among the nine surnames of Zhaowu?"

"No, this Qingli is a pure Han Chinese, completely different from the blue-haired and blue-eyed people with the nine surnames of Zhaowu. Your Highness should not fail to see it." Seeing that Li Zhen still didn't take it seriously, Sun Simiao looked more serious: "Your Highness , you'd better keep this matter in mind, Pindao has no reason to harm you. Because Xiaoyao San has two functions, the first one has already been said by Pindao, it relieves the pain of the dying person, as for the second function, it is It is a necessary medicine for making smiling corpses in the Nine Corpses Welcome."

"Nine corpses welcome guests?" Li Zhen exclaimed, and finally remembered that this was a ritual recorded in a book from the previous life that was also written about the fire in the early Tang Dynasty.As the name suggests, the Nine Corpses Welcome is to welcome guests with nine corpses that died in different ways. It is the most noble etiquette passed down from the nine surnames of Zhaowu. Only the most distinguished guests can enjoy this kind of treatment. Ordinary guests do not have this qualifications.

As for the nine surnames of Zhaowu, these are the nine countries that lived on the Silk Road and were established by the Sogdians.Mainly doing business, but claiming to be aristocratic, communicating with the East and the West, spreading a lot of Tang culture to foreigners, and also introducing a lot of foreign culture to Tang, known as the earliest second-hand businessman on the Silk Road.

Some of the nine surnames of Zhaowu finally merged into the Tang Dynasty, while others were destroyed by the big cannibal.Moreover, the nine surnames of Zhaowu seem to like to wear white clothes, but the sect and army of Dashi come here, but they are dressed in black. The name Dashi in black is the name of the nine surnames of Zhaowu. Invite Datang to attack the big food in black.

Nine corpses welcome is their etiquette. The protagonist has received this kind of treatment at that time. The first one is the smiling face corpse, but the protagonist has the aura of the protagonist.

Originally, Li Zhen thought that this should be fabricated by the author, but she didn't expect such etiquette to exist.

"Damn it, why did they target me?" Thinking of the group of perverts and lunatics in the original book, the nine surnames of Zhaowu shuddered a little. Time, sooner or later, will kill them, but those lunatics will not give Li Zhen time.Who knew that after I rejected their welcome gift from the Nine Corpses, would they lay hands on me?

Those lunatics did everything to achieve their goals. If nothing else, if they also gave themselves Xiaoyao San, how damn wronged would they be?

"Have you forgotten, Your Highness? Your Highness, you are the disciple of the Great Immortal Zhenyuan." Seeing that Li Zhen knew the meaning of the Nine Corpses' welcome, Sun Simiao stopped talking.

"You mean, they are for the immortal way?" Li Zhen also wanted to understand, what is there in him that makes those lunatics look up to him?

Gold and silver treasures?

Or knowledge?

Or is it this unparalleled power?

No, neither.

There is only one person who can catch the eyes of these lunatics.

In the whole world, only Li Zhen has the identity.

Immortal successor.

Zhaowu Jiuxing is just a pioneer. Even if he solves Zhaowu Jiuxing himself, there will still be more people rushing forward one after another, wanting to take away his identity or his chance to become a fairy.

That's right.

This is the only explanation. Immortal Dao is too tempting for those who pursue longevity. No matter what kind of hope is just a legend, they all want to try it.

In this world, there is a kind of people who can secure the world with their literary skills and determine the universe with their martial arts. However, they are unwilling to serve the Lord of the Ming Dynasty. Instead, they ask the immortals one by one, praying for longevity.In order to live longer, they can do anything, drink the blood of virgins, don't eat, only drink women... as long as they can prolong their lives, they are willing to do anything.

However, after cultivating the Tao for a lifetime, and praying for the immortals for a lifetime, in the end, those who should be born, old, sick and die still have to live, old, sick and die. How can these people be reconciled?Even because of this, I will have doubts about my lifelong pursuit.

At this time, I appeared, and claimed to have obtained the inheritance of the gods, and also produced a lot of technology that surpassed the times. How could those people who yearn for the immortal way not focus on themselves?

It's just that I was in Chang'an all the time, right under the eyes of the emperor, and after I left Chang'an, I led the army to conquer Nanyang, and I was in the army all the time, and there was no lack of defense forces around me. It is only now that the Lingnan army has been mobilized to fight in Nanyang, and the battle for Yindao has caused chaos in Lingnan, so that this group of people has a chance to make a move.

However, this also illustrates a problem, that is, although these people act strangely, they are only acting strangely. Their strength is not as strong as I imagined. If they were strong enough, I am afraid that they would have died ten years ago. Why wait until now?Shot when Lingnan is empty?

"Your Highness's thinking coincides with that of Pindao." Sun Simiao obviously agreed with Li Zhen's opinion: "So Your Highness, these days, you'd better not act alone, otherwise, you might be taken advantage of by the enemy .”

"If they ask me about other things, maybe I will agree, but if they want to ask me for immortality, I can only say that they have asked the wrong person." Li Zhen was wronged and complained: "If it can be done Immortal, am I still in this world? I went to heaven a long time ago, okay? I really don’t have this. I was only three years old at the time, and I sleepwalked to that place after falling into the water. I don’t even know where it is. I don’t know, I didn’t get anything other than the old man’s heavenly book.”

Li Zhen is really wronged. His so-called identity as the descendant of the Great Immortal Zhenyuan was simply fabricated to cover up his coming. I didn't expect to be targeted by someone for this reason today. This ancient person is too kind. Did you cheat?

Really wronged.
